> thought "cyber" wend out in the 90's

A year ago someone in my research group claimed that they were 'getting into cyber'. I looked around the room and almost every other member of the group looked confused and a little concerned.

Apparently 'cyber' has become a byword for 'cyber security'. I hope that this does not last.

I wouldn't get your hopes up, from the people who brought you forensic (i.e. legal) as a byword for science.

The security group at work now fancies themselves as "Cyber Command".

We immediately began mocking them with a buzz lightyear graphic.

Back in the late 90's on AOL, "cyber" was short for "cybersex."
